25 Things That Really Matter in Life
I have recently gotten the opportunity to read "25 Things That Really Matter in Life". I have read many books that attempt to break through the self built barriers to success that most people possess. Many are good but they are often long and filled with unnecessary fluff. They often piggyback on older books like "Think and Grow Rich" or "How To Win Friends and Influence People". Gary does not fall into these traps. Rather, he in simple and direct terms, explains how he pushed himself to operate a successful business and over come depression and how others can do the same.
In the book Gary explains what matters to him and why. He shows how faith led him to start his own business, the joy that family brings, and even the importance of great sex. What really stands out about the book is the portion that asks the readers to list the 25 things that matters to them. This is a very personal part of the book that allows the readers, if they are serious about truly becoming successful and happy, to figure out what they truly want so that they plot their own direction in life rather than letting others do it for them.
I truly enjoyed 25 Things and recommend it to anyone who is unsure of where they want to go in life and to those who know the course they want to travel but want to enrich the journey.
